Cursora

Cursora is an assessment and learning platform designed for computer science educators and higher education instructors. It automates the grading of programming exercises while giving students immediate feedback directly in the browser. Students can solve exercises in Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C, C++, C#, Go, Rust, Ruby, Kotlin, PHP and Bash. Code is executed in isolated containers with resource and network restrictions. Cursora also supports automatically graded SQL exercises against live PostgreSQL databases, Linux terminal tasks, MongoDB queries, CSS exercises, regular expressions, Parsons problems, matching, sorting and other interactive assessment formats. For course administration, Cursora includes a gradebook, QR-based attendance, multiple course editions, student rosters, analytics and project-based assignments. Cursora Assess extends the platform to paper-based assessment. Educators can generate randomized test variants, print answer sheets, scan completed tests and automatically grade closed questions. Open-ended answers remain under instructor control. The platform is designed particularly for secondary and higher education computer science courses where traditional LMS platforms do not provide execution-based assessment of programming, database and operating-system exercises.
